The late Chadwick Boseman will be honored as "Hero for the Ages" at the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time special this weekend. MTV shared the news today saying his Marvel co-stars Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr will present the award.
MTV wrote:
"Onscreen, Boseman had many jobs — iconic soul singer, a history-making Black Supreme Court justice, a history-making Black baseball player — but perhaps none defined him more than the role of actual royalty: King T'Challa, a.k.a. Black Panther, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was a king. He was a hero."
The 90-minute special is set to celebrate the biggest and best moments from movies and television from the '80s until today. It will be hosted by Vanessa Hudgens and will include appearances from Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell, Kevin Hart, Adam Sandler, Derek Hough, David Spade, Maddie Ziegler, and many more.
You can watch the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time this Sunday, December 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
